If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we dieto the Lord.”Matthew 25:19-21, 24-26 “After a long time their master returnedfrom his trip and called them to give an account of how they had usedhis money. The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of goldsaid, `Sir, you gave me five bags of gold to invest, and I have doubled theamount.’ The master was full of praise. `Well done, my good and faithfulservant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so nowI will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’…“Then the servant with the one bag of gold came and said, `Sir, I know youare a hard man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops youdidn’t cultivate. I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earthand here it is.’ “But the master replied, `You wicked and lazy servant!” NLT1 Corinthians 4:2 “It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” KJV11Martin Luther said, “People go through 3 conversions:The conversion of their head,their heart and their pocketbook.Unfortunately, not all at the same time.”Have you gone through all 3 conversions yet?
